0624 Scale up
Lieutenant General Evan McGregor despaired, "What weapons did they use? They can't see their cannons at all! Did they understand a cannon that can be fired in the trenches? Cannons that can be carried with them?"
The officers nodded and said, "General, this must be the case, what should I do?"

This is not a cannon, but it is no less powerful than a cannon. The black gunpowder at this time was not good.
When the iron armored ships are fighting, they also have to rely on solid armor-piercing bombs, and they are not yet at the level of howitzer bombing in later generations.
But the cute CEO's grenade launcher uses smokeless gunpowder plus poison gas bomb!
Death!
The British army camp was in chaos, and many people were coughing, covering their throats, rolling their eyes, and falling to the ground, unable to look directly at them.
Most people die of suffocation, while a small number of them collapsed with their guns.
Too uncomfortable.
Lieutenant General Evan McGregor was in tears, what else could he do? It was an advantageous situation!
Although the Chinese army and the people resisted very actively, the British coalition was not active in attacking. They just wanted to create strong international public opinion of the British army under the overall advantage, and to find face, and wait for the arrival of the Qing army, let the Chinese fight against the Chinese and the Qing army themselves, so that the Chinese army and the Qing army would have a large-scale exchange of fire again, so that they could recover Hong Kong and gain more benefits.

The British have always been very good at deciding accounts, and the abacus is very reasonable, but they seem to underestimate the shamelessness of the Qing court, and the Qing court also thought so.
Just by sneak attacks from time to time, life is very difficult. Expanding the defense range is a way, but in the vast land of Guangdong, how can you expand your defense range?
The troops were dispersed, and the Chinese army defeated them one by one!
The Chinese Army's First Field Division's combat qualities are no less than those of the great army, and its courage is even more outstanding. Even the British army's camp dares to defend it, let alone divide your troops.
This is not a guardian of an important city. So far, the British army has not occupied a city in Guangdong and was dragged to death by the Chinese army on the periphery of Guangzhou. The pressure on Guangdong is actually not great.
Lieutenant General Evan McGregor, the British commander, was not a fool. He knew that he could not wait for the Qing army to come.
The green camp soldiers from Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang, organized by Ruilin, have already been assembled. Even if the Huai Army cannot come, it is still a huge army.
If this army is brought up and cooperated with the Qing army to fight, it will be difficult for the Chinese army to deal with. In fact, the Qing army will never fight like this when they fight against the Chinese army alone. The Qing army is still very good at internal wars. Please read the book W w Ω �∮. ∮QingKanShu. cC
Ruilin was waiting and watching, which was also the attitude of the Qing court. The more tragic the British coalition and the Chinese army could kill, the happier the Qing court would be. It would be better if the two families fought all over.
If the British coalition forces had captured Guangzhou and achieved a great victory and the overall situation was settled, the Qing army would have come out long ago. Now that they heard that the British army was back in a stalemate with the Chinese army, how could Ruilin dare to die?
Even if he did not die, Ruilin would not want to lose more troops. In the first Guangdong Battle, Ruilin lost more than 50,000 Green Camp soldiers and was scolded by the Qing court. This was because the Chinese army was indeed too powerful and the British army also suffered heavy losses. In addition, Ruilin's connections in the court were indeed awesome, so he was exempted from punishment.
This time, Lord Ruilin must have learned his lesson.
How dare you come to Guangdong easily?
In fact, northern Guangdong is in a gap, and Ruilin can do whatever he wants to garrison, so he stopped at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi, basking in the sun all day long.
Lieutenant General Evan McGregor Evan McGregor had to change his tactics, withdraw from the periphery of Guangzhou, and stationed in the Pearl River with powerful warships, lowered his mentality again, and stationed in Guangdong and fought with the Chinese army. This is the strategy of Lieutenant General Evan McGregor Evan McGregor, and it is also the most unbearable strategy for the cute president.
Grenade launchers can only be regarded as strange tricks. It is okay to suddenly taste the sweetness. In the long run, it is not an invincible crushing killer.
However, the First Field Division of the Chinese Army accelerated the armed swimming from Hong Kong to Guangdong. Within one month, the First Field Division of the Chinese Army completed the transfer to Guangdong!
The cute president is still in Hong Kong, so the president doesn’t have to be too far ahead.
The war has been fought from spring to summer!
For more than four months, although there were not many fierce battles, more than half of the British coalition forces were killed or injured.
The Chinese army suffered even more heavy losses. Although there were not many casualties in the First Field Division of the Chinese Army, the Guangdong Security Division, the 2nd Guangdong Security Division, the Hong Kong Security Division, the three security divisions and the Construction Corps suffered particularly heavy casualties.
The total number of people in the Chinese army was more than 70,000. This is the unit. Compared with the number of people alone, eight are compared with the British army!
Not to mention the common people, the total death toll exceeds 280,000!
In more than four months, China died of more than 360,000 people, which was an unprecedented disaster. Under such a tragic situation, the British expanded the war.
Hong Kong is too important to Britain's strategic position in the Far East. The British government finally decided to expand the scale of the war and increase its troops in an all-round way. The British mainland alone sent 50,000 regular 6 troops!
The British army also recruited the San army from India, commanded by British officers, and formed a mixed army of 100,000 people. These two numbers alone were 150,000. Adding to the more than 7,000 left in the British commander-in-chief Ivan McGregor, the total number was close to 160,000!
160,000 British 6th Army and more than 150 large and small warships blocked the Pearl River Estuary and the Port of Katrina Kaif. The Chinese army and the Chinese nation are likely to be destroyed at any time.
Although the cute CEO didn't say it, he was panicked and he really regretted it. The sneak attack on Hong Kong was just a temporary pleasure. From now on, it was indeed a bold and stupid move.
Grenade launchers cannot save the overall decline of the Chinese army. They cannot drive away the British army by shouting slogans, nor can they drive away the British army by the cute president's fierce speech.
President Meng ordered that all the construction corps in Hong Kong would form guerrillas without weapons and swim with cold weapons to Guangdong to support the battle between the Guangdong First Guard Division, the Guangdong Second Guard Division and the First Field Division of the Chinese Army. President Meng would passively start a full-scale war.
Only the Hong Kong Guard Division was left behind in Hong Kong, and there was an artillery brigade without shells. The artillery brigade was equipped with a lot of grenade launchers and a large number of female soldiers who came in.
These female soldiers were all remnants of the Construction Corps. There were a large number of female soldiers in the Construction Corps. These female soldiers followed the large troops of the Construction Corps to cross the sea to Guangdong.
On the surface, not only did the number of Chinese troops not decrease, but as the construction corps all joined the army, it suddenly reached more than 500,000. However, they had no systematic training, no weapons, and had poor combat experience. There were also a large number of female soldiers. What was behind this complete system? (To be continued.)
